Why do they keep letting ryan turn his back to his opponent?

    Its completely unfair to other fighters becuse they literally cant hit him anywhere, as soon he throws his left he turns over his whole body revealing his ass to his opponents, preventing them from taking advantage if he misses, and it also happens to be illegal to turn your back to your opponent.

    Turning your back to opponent = a full 180 rotation no?

    Ryan half turned so he was side on whilst tucked in and covering up in a defensive stance.....no one in Haney's corner including Haney had a problem with it, the crowd didn't have a problem with it (you heard some boos but that was for the lack of action) and clearly neither did the ref, he had clear shots at Garcia's ribcage and also could've thrown the hook around the guard or an uppercut to break the guard.

    As tired as I was, that's how I saw it anyway.

    A point deduction should do it. You can’t turn your back on an opponent.

    it basicly reveals nothing but his backside. He tried pulling off the crap against tank. Against duarte thats all he did. It makes for a completely ugly fight and the ref always has to step in to have to break it apart and let ryan reset. If theyre gonna let him do it then the refs need to stop breaking them apart and let ryan suffer the consequences of doing that crap.

    Fighters should just hit him in the back, and ref should do nothing about it. Number one rule is "protect yourself at all times". If a fighter wants to turn away, then they should suffer the consequences.

    Same reason the ref let Haney hold, kidney punch and rabbit punch... The refs dont uphold the rules, so they're there to be exploited.

    It was blatant and frankly points should have been deducted because he kept doing it but shockingly Haney could not take advantage of it.

    Garcia revolutionised defensive technique in boxing, Haney couldnt resist his booty bait and paid dearly

    He didn’t turn his back to his opponent he was sideways. Big difference.

    Didn't Mayweather do a similar thing?

    Pretty sure he did.

    He does’t turn his back, he turns sideways, at one point Haney just punched him at the exposed area repeatedly he just doesn’t have the power.
